Brian Stanley: Does it have the potential to cause problems in the context of, for want of a better term, the supply of private rented accommodation and homeless accommodation? Does it have the potential to create a problem for those people who are already looking at losing tenancies over the coming year? They will now be facing a situation where a large chunk of this will be taken up with international...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Brian Stanley: It is promised in the new year. There is correspondence today from RTÉ on it. I will ask the clerk to get an update later on that. Members may not have seen it yet. No. R2275 C is correspondence from RTÉ dated 11 December 2023. I propose that we note and publish this item. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Brian Stanley: The official from the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform might answer this question. What was the problem? Was there not a demand for affordable housing? Deputy Murphy has outlined the issue of staff. There has not been one provided yet for the affordable housing scheme in County Laois. It is only being advertised now. Was it the view of the...

Brian Stanley: I am asking the Department to go a step further. On layout and light, the officials know, and I have said this to them previously, that if there is a four-acre site where 40 houses are to be built, that is where the design is done as regards the layout of the site. The layout of the site has to be a blank canvas. I understand that. For example, you try to have as many windows as possible...

Brian Stanley: I apologise for interrupting. Many termination of tenancy notices will come into force early in the new year. A number of the people involved will be going into emergency accommodation or will have to seek other private rented accommodation. If that is the case, and the supply is drying up, you then have this added layer of Ukrainian refugees coming out of 90-day temporary international...

I thank the Housing Agency and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform for attending and preparing the documents for today. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and staff for...
